Nearly all employers, regardless of size, are required to withhold and pay contributions on behalf of their employees and to provide qualified employees with job-protected leave. If you choose to contribute to Paid Leave as an employer, you can apply for an assistance grant. You are required to let them take leave if they qualify and to protect their job while they are gone. If you need help finding another worker, you can visit the WorkSource Oregon website, which helps connect employers and workers in Oregon.
